The BIG 1!

One year ago, today, I held you in my arms for the first time. When daddy left to tell everyone you had arrived I sang to you. Do you remember?

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away."

Mommy and daddy love you more than anything in the whole world! We are so happy to have you in our lives! You are a little sunshine! You make everyone smile! I had NO idea you would be so beautiful, special, and loved. You have taught me more about life and love than I ever thought possible.

Happy Birthday baby girl! You are So special!

Love,

Mommy

Here is Bailey's birthday party invitation. The first picture is the outside of the invite. There is a picture from each month and 2 for 11 months. The poem is what I wrote for the inside. They turned out VERY cute (and yes, honey, I KNOW they were expensive but B is TOTALLY worth it!)

For many months we prayed and prayedAnd wondered and hoped until she cameThe day she was born was the happiest of allFor mommy and daddy, we were in awe

And through the months we’ve laughed and playedAnd thanked God every SINGLE dayFor our blessing from aboveWe never knew there was such love

And now our baby crawls and groovesIt’s oh so fun to watch her movesA tiny baby, she is no moreThe toddler years we are in for

Our little one is the most precious thingAnd happiness she will always bringSo, please join us at her party so funFor Bailey Grace is turning ONE!!

That song has such special meaning to me, my mom used to sing it to me and one day I will sing it to my child too. I love it! Her invite was so beautiful, and creative!!!! AND THE POEM, that was so sweet...I am so glad she had a good b-day! I LOVE the pic od her eating her cake, I just love those 1st b-day pics with a cake cover kido!!!
